Animal Rescue Update: Baby Loggerhead Turtle Doing Well!

Published April 02, 2013

Remember this little guy? We're happy to report that the loggerhead hatchling we transported to North Carolina Aquarium is doing well!

Just days before Hurricane Sandy hit the Northeast in October of 2012, our Animal Rescue team rescued and began caring for a loggerhead sea turtle hatchling found on Assateague Island National Seashore.

We're thrilled to report that the young loggerhead is doing well and has grown a significant amount since his initial rescue! While he's is still considered a bit small for his age class, the turtle is eating a good amount and diving well!

The wonderful team over at North Carolina Aquarium is hoping to release the loggerhead back into the ocean soon.
